Have been paying close attention to him vs Bears, seems more like a great #2, rather than a #1 TBH. Combine that with the previous injury issues, and I'm not sure the expectations / hopes I've seen here about signing him next year as Steve's replacement are realistic.

BTW Randle is a worse version of LaFell.

Anyone remember what the Bears gave the Dolphins for Marshall? He's a beast.

Agreed, I don't want them to break the bank for Nicks or even come remotely close to doing anything like that for him.

Marshall was traded for a 2012 third round pick and 2013 third round pick. I was pissed the Panthers passed on a legit number 1 wide reciever when the asking price was more than reasonable.

I want them to trade for Josh Gordon so bad.

Nicks would take a fair offer to play in Charlotte. He loves Charlotte, the Panthers, and the idea of playing with Cam/Steve. Unfortunately, I doubt we offer him anything.

The ideal number 1  for this offense has to be a deep threat which Nicks doesnt fit, but he would be a hell of a number 2 as a possession guy. Still worth it, and Randle is a better receiver than Lafell in every way. U gotta be kidding me with that remark.

Meh, Cruz is the better receiver, in my opinion, but he's getting all the doubles now.

 

Well your  best WR doesn't necessarily have to be your "#1"

 

Welker would never be considered a #1 but has been the best WR on a couple teams.

Nicks obviously has the tools but not loving some of the intangibles in regards to catching the ball away from his body and running the route the qb obviously expects him to run.  Communication is lacking with Eli and not real happy with effort level on a couple of plays either.

 

Playing with Steve and Cam may fix that, but still a big question mark.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
